There was so much chaos in the security room as they tried to find what it was that emitted such strange energy. For more than five minutes they worked tirelessly to figure it out, but to no avail. They then tried to figure out from which of the sensors was the energy detected and this was yet another war in itself because the energy seemed to be coming from over seventy sensors according to the monitor, so he would get to the initial one on time. The military men were immediately alerted about this strange energy and were asked to search around each sensor they found for anything that emitted the strange energy, but they were to do this without frightening the guests or giving them a clue that something was wrong. If after ten minutes they couldn't find anything, then they'll have no choice but to politely inform the guest to evacuate the building. The good news was that they had a backup hall just in case of emergency and it was only ten minutes drive from this one. The mili

"Ah! Oh my God, oh God, oh God! " The lady yelled as the sound of crashing concrete echoed throughout the basement and she felt her heart freeze for a moment. "It's okay, it's okay," Oscar held her close to himself, gently stroking her hair with his injured right hand, "You'll be fine," He said to her, while also trying to calm his racing heart. "Oh my God, the people," She cried, her mind drifting off to those who did not make it out or to the basement on time and were crushed under the pile of concrete. She tried so hard not to imagine their final moment as they struggled to survive, and with each passing second, she cried even harder but kept her voice down. "It's alright," Oscar said to her once again and led her to sit down on the floor by the corner of the basement. He took out his phone, and just like the others, he put on his flashlight and placed it upside down on the floor to lighten up the place. He rested his back on the wall and tried to stretch his arm, but

"Sir, these are the latest reports on Jordan's whereabouts," a man dressed in a black leather jacket approached Tom with a bunch of files in his hand. Tom took the paper from him and flung it across the room immediately with a frown. Ever since he got back to the Netherland headquarters located just underneath the Slytherin hotel, Tom was not smiling at anyone. "Why should I care about Jordan's disappearance at a time like this?" He yelled, and the man who had given the papers to him took a few steps back in shock. "Is there something that has happened that I'm not aware of?" He asked, and Leo quickly handed him a tablet, showing videos of the devastation at the conference hall. "Oscar is buried under that pile," He said, "We need to find his body at least." The man was speechless, staring at the videos sent a shiver down his spine, and he knew exactly how Tom felt at the moment because having been assigned to make sure that nothing happened to Oscar, he would get blamed f

5. a.m None of them had a peaceful sleep, maybe because they had to lie on the cold floor or rest their heads on the desk, the discomfort, coupled with the fear of what might happen did not let most of them get a proper rest, as they constantly had to wake up at intervals. At last five, the man who had suggested that they go up the stairs tapped Oscar on the shoulder after waking up some others. "Five a.m., man?" Oscar asked, unable to stand on his feet. "We have to start early, it's part five, none of us can sleep, not even you," The man retorted and Oscar begrudgingly stood up from the floor where he lay. Truth be told, he has a hard time falling asleep, and for some reason, it was at this early hour that his body needed the rest, but unfortunately, he had to assist the other men to find a way out of there. Five in total, they left the others behind and ascended the stairs, back to where they had initially assembled before coming down here. The entrance had been bloodi

When they pulled up at her friend's place, Dora thanked Oscar wholeheartedly before stepping out of the car, and after she did, she waved to him goodbye from the window, even though the tinted glass made it impossible to see her face. Oscar asked the driver to wait a second. he wanted to confirm that she went into the house so that if Dora's friend wasn't home, he could offer her another ride to a place where she wished to stay for the time being. While he waited, he called Tom and asked, "Where is Leo?" Oscar's prayer at the moment was for Leo to be alive, anything contrary was surely going to break his heart, but he heaved a sigh of relief when Tom said that he was back at the hotel. Oscar nodded his head and looked out the window again, to see Dora still knocking at the door, and he was quite delighted with the outcome because now he gets to spend a little bit more time with her, even though they said nothing to each other the whole time. Without hesitation, he got out of
